CrackBerry.com - BlackBerry Linkhttp://crackberry.com/blackberry-link
BlackBerry Link is the desktop computer software which communicates with BlackBerry 10 devices. It was previously called BlackBerry Desktop Software and BlackBerry Desktop Manager. It allows users to synchronize their pictures, video, and audio with specific directories on their PC either over USB cable or wirelessly through the local Wi-Fi network. Users can also monitor their device’s memory usage, perform operating system updates, and back up their devices through BlackBerry Link.

We've been waiting to post this all day because the url to the Mac version was broken but now that that has been fixed, we can finally let you all know BlackBerry Link has been updated. On Windows, BlackBerry Link has been updated to v1.2.3.56 while on Mac it has been updated to v1.2.1.18.

Unfortunately, BlackBerry pushed this one out with a standard change log for v1.2 which simply says it has an updated, more user-friendly look and feel, support for additional languages and general performance improvements. So, with that said if you spot anything that's actually new let us know because the change log it's using is just recycled.

Although the chances of the Heartbleed bug being exploited through BlackBerry Link was minimal, the desktop app for Windows and Mac had until yesterday remained on BlackBerry's vulnerable list. The good news though, if you were worried about it is that new versions that patch the exploit are now available for download as confirmed by BerryReview.

Hello again readers! Dear Berry is here once again with a mailbag full of BlackBerry questions and woes. Today's question comes from a reader who asks:

I'm having an issue with the new OS leak so I downgraded back to my carrier's stock OS. BlackBerry Link is giving me an error message that it cannot restore data as the backup was created with a higher version of the OS. Can you please help?

It has been a few months since we've seen an update for BlackBerry Link, and today Windows users get a shiny new version (sorry, no Mac love today). We're not totally sure just what's new in this one, but you can expect some minor tweaks and fixes to keep things running decent. It doesn't look like there are any big overhauls this time around, but it's always good to keep things up to date.

If you've signed up for the BlackBerry Beta Zone and are participating in the BlackBerry Link beta then chances are good you've already seen the latest survey asking what changes customers want to see in BlackBerry Link future releases. However, if you're not part of that program, then you may have missed the hints of things BlackBerry is looking to add. The survey sent out lists things already integrated into BlackBerry Link but then asks what new and existing features should be added.

Still having issues with BlackBerry Link working properly on Windows or Mac? You're not alone, I assure you. That said though, new versions of BlackBerry Link have made their way to the BlackBerry downloads page so I suppose now is a good a time as any to test them out and see how they run compared to previous releases.

You'll find the Windows app sitting at v1.2.2.13 while the Mac app has now risen to v1.2.0.17. We're not sure as to what all has changed as of yet but if you get them downloaded and up and running then give us a shout in the comments if you spot anything new. One thing that is known though is that on the Mac version at least, it's sporting a fancy new UI.

We suggest downloading them directly because it might take a while for them to show up under the auto updates.

It has been a while since the last BlackBerry Link update and certainly, some folks would say another has been long over due. No matter though as today brings just that. New versions of the desktop application have been released for both PC and Mac and while the noted changes are just 'general performance improvements', the PC release is now at v1.2.1.31 while the Mac release is at v1.1.1.39. At this point, I assume everyone has been having issues with BlackBerry Link at one point or another so, go ahead and grab the latest releases and we'll see if they fair any better.

Although we saw an early version of BlackBerry Link 1.2 arrive unofficially, folks waiting for the official release can now go ahead and grab it from the BlackBerry website directly or through the BlackBerry Link update system. Sadly, it seems as though the Mac release hasn't yet been made available so this one is strictly for Windows users though the good news is, it's a later revision than what has leaked previously. At this point, there isn't a readily available change log to go through but just as with previous releases, the UI has been updated and overall a lot of general improvements have been added.

We've already got a close look at BlackBerry Link 1.2 in some screenshots earlier but as of now the update hasn't started to roll out of Waterloo for whatever reason. No matter though, if you're on Windows based computer and want to give it a go, you can now grab the leaked version. Sorry Mac users, you're in the dark here.

Overall, you'll see some visual improvements to the app as well, faster and more reliable back-ups, better synch offerings and more options for when it comes to restoring your device. Additionally, there is also fixes for remote access and logging in via your BlackBerry ID.

Like all leaks, you're downloading this one at your own risk. There is no promise here that all things will work as expected and really, you'll want to use caution when using it. If for whatever reason you find this version isn't working the best for you then it is suggested you revert to the official release.

Ahh, yes. BlackBerry Link. By now, most BlackBerry 10 users are fully aware that BlackBerry Link isn't exactly the best desktop software app in the world. We've griped enough about it in the past that it's really not worth harping on any more really. Perhaps, everyone complaining about it has caused BlackBerry to put a little more effort into it. After all, it has seen a few updates since initial release and is slowly improving.

Next on the horizon is BlackBerry Link 1.2, which we've heard about a few times before now and is noted to bring several improvements to the app such as faster and more reliable back-ups, better synch offerings and more options for when it comes to restoring your device. Additionally, there is also fixes for remote access and logging in via your BlackBerry ID. Overall lots of general improvements to make using the app better.

Just last week the Mac version of BlackBerry Link received an update, and it appears that its Windows counterpart is getting the same. The latest version sits at 1.1.1.41 and while no official changelog is available, it looks like mostly small tweaks and fixes.

With each and every BlackBerry Link post we put up here on CrackBerry, there is always tons of feedback about the app left in the comments. Now that v1.1 has hit the masses, BlackBerry has decided to open up the BlackBerry Beta Zone to start gathering up a lot of that feedback.

If you're having issues with the app, have requests for future updates or just want to share your experiences with it, you can sign up for the program and share the information directly with BlackBerry. Hopefully, this also means we'll start seeing some BlackBerry Link beta updates through Beta Zone as well. Hit the link to log in to the BlackBerry Beta Zone and sign up for the program.

Well, that didn't take long. Just as we posted up the Mac download, the official versions went live on the BlackBerry Link download page. The Windows version is currently showing as v1.1.1.26 while the Mac version shows as v1.1.1.13 and both updates include improvements for contact syncing between your device and your computer when running BlackBerry OS 10.1 or later.

With that having been said, there aren't a whole lot of options to choose from should you opt to sync your contacts, but for basic transferring, all the components are there as far as I can tell. Power users will likely end up wanting more but at least the updates are still rolling out and BlackBerry Link is gradually improving. If you happen to spot any other changes, let us know in the comments.

BlackBerry Link is new but is it good?

Before the release of BlackBerry 10 we learned early on BlackBerry would also be revamping their desktop offerings and replacing BlackBerry Desktop Software. The new app was to be called BlackBerry Link and would come with a revamped UI and was meant to be more user friendly than the aging BlackBerry Desktop Software solution, as well it was built to offer some additional features like remote desktop.

When it arrived folks were quick to notice it lacking some of the more advanced options that were previously offered. Advanced options that made the experience a whole lot better and for some, were essential to their usage of BlackBerry smartphones. BlackBerry Desktop Software was by no means perfect. It was horrendously slow at times and was often hit or miss on just what exactly it was doing but it had things people liked and used all the time.

If you've been having some issues with BlackBerry Link for the past few days like I have, you'll want to go ahead and check for updates. A new version is rolling out through the auto update process and new versions have been posted to the BlackBerry Website as well for download. The Mac version gets bumped into 1.1.0.32 while the Windows version will see a jump to 1.1.0.37.

The updates don't really bring a full change log with them as they simply show the same change log as the previous release, so it's a bit hard to say what's been fixed up aside from saying bugfixes. I can note though that BlackBerry Link is no longer hanging for me after several reboots, this was the problem I was seeing the past few days, so there's that. Spot anything else? Drop a note in the comments and let others know.

Today BlackBerry Link has received another update for both Windows and Mac. The new version includes some small tweaks and fixes to get things in line with BlackBerry OS 10.1. Sadly there is still no two-way sync for Outlook as many were hoping however.

BlackBerry Link v1.1 allows you to remotely view and download files on your computer using your BlackBerry 10 device. You can sync and share media files, such as music and photos, between your BlackBerry 10 devices and computer. You can also switch from a previous BlackBerry device, backup your data, update your device software and more!

This brings the Windows version up to 1.1.0.33 and the Mac version to 1.1.0.28.

The latest update to BlackBerry Link for Mac is now available to download

If you're a Mac user, you've likely been wondering where your update to BlackBerry Link has been given the Windows version was updated a while ago now. Wonder no more though, as a new version is now appearing as available for download and brings with it everything that was addressed in the Windows update as well. Sitting at v1.0.1.6, here's what has been added to the change log:

You can import your Address Book contacts to your BlackBerry 10 smartphones. This import is a one-way transfer of data from your computer to your device. Local contacts won’t remain synced if you choose to import this data again the next time that you connect your BlackBerry 10 device to your computer.

Updates have been made to the user interface for in-progress operations.

Updates have been made to the process for setting up new devices in BlackBerry Link.

Album view is available within Content view.

It's still not the update that Outlook users are looking for but it's an update with some welcome improvements and that can certainly be appreciated. If you're not making use of BlackBerry Link already, you can download it directly from the BlackBerry website and run the update from within the app. If you've already got BlackBerry Link installed, the update should be showing as available now.

Good news for Windows users - BlackBerry Link for Windows has received a small update that brings one-way sync as well as some other tweaks and fixes. The new version allows Windows users to sync contact and calendar data from Outlook on a PC to a BlackBerry 10 device, but sadly not from the device to the PC. It's a step in the right direction but certainly leaves Outlook users wanting more. Thankfully two-way sync is expected down the road.

Some various fixes and UI tweaks included in this build as well. Head to the link below to grab the latest version.

It's a safe practice to backup your BlackBerry 10 device once in a while just in case you have some kind of issue and have to start fresh. Thankfully BlackBerry Link makes the process easy and you can easily backup to your Mac or PC with very little effort. BlackBerry Link isn't as robust as the old BlackBerry Desktop Software, so you do lose some advanced functions like selective backup and restore, but it still gets the job done. Keep reading to find out how to backup and restore your BlackBerry 10 device using BlackBerry Link.

Luckily, BlackBerry has now commented on the matter and desktop synch via USB will be making its way to BlackBerry Link via an update that will include the ability to import contact and calendar information directly from Outlook to your BlackBerry 10 smartphone and another update shortly after that will bring full two-way sync.

The BlackBerry Desktop Software (aka BlackBerry Desktop Manager) wasn't always the most reliable utility, but it did offer a ton of options that were extremely helpful in various situations. You could sync up your data with Outlook or other PC apps, sync files, backup & restore a device and much more. You could even get deep down into clearing out certain databases or performing a selective restore when tinkering (ie. clearing out just your calendar entries and restoring them from a backup).

If you picked up a BlackBerry Z10 or plan to grab a BlackBerry Q10, you may fire up BlackBerry Link and wonder just what gives. Playing around with Link for the last week or so, I've noticed that there are plenty of these features that have seem to gone missing in action. So it left me wondering, where's the beef?

Although BlackBerry Link will prompt you to install it when you first connect your BlackBerry 10 device to your PC or Mac, if you're among those who also like to have the installable file directly that's no problem. You can now head on over to the BlackBerry website and download the full desktop installer so that you have easy access to it whenever you may need it.

We'll have more how-to articles related to BlackBerry Link soon but in the meantime, BlackBerry has also included a great tutorial video that's certainly worth watching if you're looking to learn more now and in case you're wondering, BlackBerry Link supports BlackBerry smartphones running BlackBerry 10 OS and BlackBerry PlayBook tablets running BlackBerry PlayBook OS 2.1.

BlackBerry Link will be the BlackBerry Desktop Software replacement for BlackBerry 10. We've seen some images and features in the past, but some more leaked shots have surfaced that show off more of the new software. From the looks of things BlackBerry Link will have a much better UI than the previous software and allow you to transfer files to and from your device, browse files and perform restore/backup and other device functions. It should be fairly full-featured and will be a welcome upgrade from previous versions. Check out some more images below.

For a while now, we've been hearing about the BlackBerry Desktop Manager replacement that will be coming with BlackBerry 10 called BlackBerry Link. We've seen some shots of it here and there but now, the latest Dev Alpha update pushed out is showing signs of it as well. As you can see in the images, BlackBerry Link even tries to install when the Dev Alpha is connected to the computer. There is bits and pieces of info throughout the files such as:

[This particular file isn't in English so I used Google Translate to see what it says]

It will go so far as to offer to install updated drivers and quit there. If you poke around a bit though, you can find the set up file needed and run it. However, BlackBerry Link won't fully download and install because the webpage for it isn't quite live yet or it's based off an internal RIM server. Either way, it adds just a little bit more confirmation to its eventual arrival.

BlackBerry Desktop Manager has been the staple PC app for backing up, restoring, updating and synching BlackBerry devices for years, however with BlackBerry 10 a refreshed version dubbed BlackBerry Linklooks to be taking its place. BlackBerry Link will have many of the same features of the current BlackBerry Desktop Software but has been built for the upcoming BlackBerry 10 devices (though we're assuming it will be compatible with older devices as well). With the new software, users will easily be able to sync music, videos, photos and documents as well as backup/restore device data, update device software and more. BlackBerry Link will also allow users to access files stored on a computer from their device.

BlackBerry Link will have many of the same features of the current BlackBerry Desktop Software but has been built for the upcoming BlackBerry 10 devices (though we're assuming it will be compatible with older devices as well). With the new software, users will easily be able to sync music, videos, photos and documents as well as backup/restore device data, update device software and more. BlackBerry Link will also allow users to access files stored on a computer from their device.

For a while now, we've been hearing rumors of RIM working on a new sort of desktop and device synching software solution for upcoming BlackBerry 10 devices and now there is a little bit more information out there to support those rumors.

As it stands, BlackBerry Desktop Software / Manager is the go to application for synching media, information and apps but it's notoriously slow and cumbersome. A refreshed version of such an application would certainly be welcomed by everyone I'm sure.
